Billionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk set off a round of speculation this week when he suggested an interview between celebrity podcaster Joe Rogan and 2024 presidential candidate Donald Trump “will happen,” with just weeks to go before Election Day.

The anticipation for a Trump–Rogan interview took on new energy after the financial blog and news aggregator ZeroHedge posted a Substack post calling on Rogan—a comedian and martial arts commentator—to invite Trump onto “The Joe Rogan Experience.”
